ALPHA AND OMEGA: Beginning and the End

“ALPHA AND THE OMEGA”

(Beginning and the End)

JESUS' SECOND COMING:

Whew…this is the most sensitive topic I hate talking about because I can't without offending my Christian friends. I found it hard to believe that Nostradamus saw the anti-Christ in the vision but not Jesus. He did but did not openly talk about it because if he mentioned having seen Jesus and what he represents in the vision…he would have been lynched or burned alive by the Church inquisitors of the time. His prophecies would have never seen the lights of day.

What if Muslims are right regardless of how slim the chance is, and Jesus is telling the truth that he is no God but the Son of Man, a prophet like any other whose mission is to declare the worship of the one true Almighty God who is in heaven? Jesus, in the Bible, worshipped that God, as did all the Prophets before him and after him (Prophet Muhammad).

The prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.) said that Jesus, at his second coming, would break crosses, get married, have a family, and live with us for 45 years. When he dies…he will be buried by the side of the Prophet's grave in Medina.

In Mathew 7:21, Jesus speaks of the second coming in the first person, which is one of the few in the Bible:

7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?

7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

There is also a lot of confusion about who the real Jesus is among those who will reappear at the end of times. Will he be the one wielding a sword and riding a white horse followed by the soldiers in heaven or the one who will come like a thief in the cover of the night or the light descending from the sky?

I find it mind-boggling that Christians can misread a clearly stated verse in the Bible where they attribute to Jesus for having said…I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA. Jesus never (neither while he walked among men nor in the Dream Book of Revelation) claimed to be the “beginning and the end.” It was God the Almighty sitting on the throne who said it…NOT THE LAMB (Jesus). The book of Revelation very clearly identified the almighty God seated on the throne in the presence of the 24 elders, 4 beasts, and the Lamb (Jesus).

Revelation 21: 5-6

21:5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." 21:6 He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty, I will give him a drink without cost from the spring of the water of life."

With all the major signs of the end times fulfilled…Saturday, December 22, 2012 (the day after) may not mark the beginning of a new Mayan calendar…IT COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END…FINISH.

…or it could be simply the end of everything we thought we knew.

We very often express "the End-of-the-World-as-we-know-it," meaning that there is a flip side to it: "the beginning-of-the-world-as-we-didn't-know-it."

The return of Jesus, whether in the midst of human upheaval or quietly in the company of many others, will almost certainly change the way we view the universe. It will revolutionize our perceptions of God and the world as we know it, especially knowledge regarding our faiths, travels in time, our role (as a grain of sand) on the beachfront of the universe, life and death, eternal life, and heaven and hell. Jesus' second coming, per se, will reveal to us the secrets of the universe.

At the end of the day…we could all be laughing at how naive we had been, so naïve that we cannot even think beyond the human face. We accept that other beings could be more intelligent and advanced than us, but we cannot accept that they could be better looking, so we project them as ugly-looking, intergalactic creatures. The evolution of an intelligent brain goes naturally with the evolution of BODY PERFECT. If they are more intelligent than us, then they must be better looking, but no…GOD CREATED US IN HIS OWN IMAGE, or we created God in our own glorified-monkey-look-alike-images. The human face is the dead end of human intelligence. Okay…beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but since we cannot perceive something better beyond the human face, it could mean that God had limited our intelligence only up to a point. The best we can do is give them (angels) human faces but defaced it with wings. After thousands of years and in spite of our amazing technological advances, we stubbornly refuses to evolve out of the primitive mind that anything coming down from the sky must have wings so that angels became birdmen. (LOL)

In Islam…man is not created in the image of God because God's image is incomprehensible. You can only try to comprehend the majesty of His creations but you cannot comprehend His majesty per se. God's beauty is beyond the human mind to imagine. God is like no other.

Qur'an 112:

1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;

2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;

3. He begets not, nor is He begotten;

4. And there is none like unto Him.
